As per statistics, India has confronted 371 natural hazards over the past few decades and severe casualties, infrastructural, agricultural and economic damages were recorded [1]. Credible and real time data such as news content are accessible liberally in legitimate websites and its analysis may provide assistance in administering hazard emergencies, preparedness and relief efficiently. On this grounds, a data scraping approach is proposed to gather hazard relevant news stories from the web by building a crawler software and incorporate machine learning approaches to filter out insightful information. The developed crawler software visits news reporting web pages and extracts news stories related to hazards. News illustrations are often unstructured as it includes less newsworthy content such as author’s opinions, interview responses and past studies. Hence, a supervised learning based text classification is performed to classify newsworthy content from news articles and approximately 70 percent accuracy was achieved.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125672733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study demonstrated two models to provide a practical implementation in the transformation of reaching an effective public e-service by adopting Blockchain technology and utilizing the ID system few studies shed light on the success factors of Blockchain and how the public sectors would hit the peak of efficiency and effectiveness. The noteworthy objectives of this study are: To increase the trust and transparency, reduction of the cost of transactions and its processes efforts. The empirical results derive that the digital ID system and the Blockchain technology are significant mediations and play an imperative mediating role in the successful implementation of the Blockchain technology in One-Stop Service and enhancing the quality of e-service more than the traditional ICT. Another finding shows the highest risk to adopt the Blockchain in public service without applying an efficient digital identity system and management documents system to provide authorization of credentials. Interestingly it shows the vital role of authentication and identification domains at the digital ID system stage while the significant role of applying the authorization domain at the One-stop service stage.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127782138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is characterized by an increased need for urgent urination, which often causes involuntary leakage of urine. On the other hand, there is evidence of a lack of adherence to conventional treatments for OB patients, most of which are invasive or medicated. For this reason, the goal is to develop a non-invasive, portable device that will stimulate the posterior tibial nerve for the management of urinary incontinence caused by OB. A five-stage methodology is proposed for the development of this project. The first stage is to identify the needs of the population with OB. The second stage is the simulation of the analogue prototype. The third stage is the design and construction of the analogical electro-stimulation prototype. In the fourth stage, the technical and electronic components for planning the digitization of the analog device are identified. Finally, in the fifth stage, a clinical trial is planned to test the device’s efficacy and effectiveness in OB urinary incontinence by stimulating the posterior tibial nerve. The preliminary result is in phase three of the project in which the low-cost analogue and portable prototype was developed.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128971665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many families were displaced during the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan when it hit the Philippines in 2013. After several years, many households remain displaced prompting the private sectors and NGOs to take action. One project is an eco-village on an island in Palawan. Built in 2016, an off-grid solar PV system was originally designed to provide electricity for households and facilities within the eco-village. When the village started construction in 2017, the solar PV system was used to power the construction equipment. Three years after the solar PV system was deployed, a significant decline in its performance was observed. Thus, a monitoring system was installed to gather and analyze the energy data from the solar PV system. This paper presents the results of the monitoring and some insights derived from the gathered data. It was observed that the use of construction equipment registered high current readings up to 12.21 A. Current surges due to high power equipment also cause the circuit breaker of the system to trip. The degradation of the batteries is the primary reason for the underperformance of the system.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133524753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While small solar panels can supply power to state-of-the-art sensors which can be operated with as little as 0.1mW, wind power is an important alternative for sensors that must operate in the shade, at night, or in indoor structures such as airducts. While wind is ubiquitous, research on efficient flow-based milliwatt-scale generators has only just begun. Our design concept is based on tapping the energy contained in the turbulence that results when a flat surface obstructs a fast-moving airflow. Using preliminary experimentation, we determined that a triangular prism, attached to a cantilevered flexible beam is suitable for extracting power from the flexure of a piezoelectric piece attached to the beam. We varied the beam and prism dimensions and identified parameter ranges that yielded optimal performance. We obtained over 0.5mW of average power with a device consisting of a 12.5cm beam, and prism with face dimensions of 10cmX6.5cm at modest wind speeds.","PeriodicalId":314837,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123582996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
